Missha Time Revolution Red Algae Essence

 

 

I was introduced by fiddysnails on IG and always loved the Time Revolution Essence so I was eager to try out the red algae. The formula feels more richer and moisturized my skin after toner application. Love it and will repurchase this in the future.

Missha Time Revolution Artemisia Treatment Essence

 It's been 4.5 years since I've used the Missha Time Revolution Essence. I now have the Time Revolution Artemisia Treatment Essence during the end of the summer and early autumn of 2020. This is the time where everyone has to wear masks everywhere. I have to wear it for 9 hours at work so my skin has been breaking out more often. In comes this product, I love it. It's hydrating and soothes my skin; it has been helping with the breakouts. I don't even know why I stop using essence this summer. The double fermented Artemisia annua extract helps with moisturizing and healing.

MISSHA Yei Hyun Cleanliness Cleansing Foam 170ml

 
MISSHA Yei Hyun Cleanliness Cleansing Foam 170ml

Very medicinal, it reminds me of the Hanyul cleanser.
I believe this is best for oily skin because it does strip off most of your natural barrier of moisture from your face if you have dry skin.
I have been using this for about 2 months daily and I like it.
It cleans, washing off dirt and oil.
I have combination skin and sometimes my skin feels a bit dry after but nothing a toner can't fix.

Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence

I really wanted to see if this really is a dupe compared to the SK-II essence since it was my first essence and now I want to venture out to the other brands. So I finally brought a bottle of this Missha Time Revolution. My expectations wasn't high because Missha products usually doesn't work for my skin, and in my past experiences, the ones that surprises me are the ones that I have low expectations for. SK-II didn't do it for me in the past, so I wasn't expecting much here either. I believe this is the new renovated technology that contains "Zyosys" which is a fermented yeast extract.

 

Remember to twist this bottle instead of pulling it open.
You have to shake the bottle a bit to get the product out.
It's unscented, surprising it didn't burn my sensitive skin. To be honest, I slowly put the cotton pad onto my skin because I was waiting for the burn but it didn't come. Definitely a plus for me cause I don't see alcohol in the ingredient list.
It's unscented-I was expecting a bit of a floral scent, but I guess it's fragrance-free.
It dried pretty quickly into the skin.
Boy did my skin felt firm afterwards!
It has only been half a month and I have already used up half of the bottle - which is consider a favorite product for me because I get picky with products.

Moisturizing - no
Smoothing - yes
Soothing - yes
Balancing Sebum Level - yes
Improve skin tone - yes
Firming - YES
Wrinkle repairing - yes
Boasting - yes

I will be re-purchasing this product in the future if I run out of essence.
